Steps to become a CA Notary Public
Becoming a California Notary is easier than you think
Follow these simple steps and you could be commissioned in just a few weeks. Our 100% online, state-approved class walks you through the entire process and guarantees you pass the exam.
STEP 1
Our class is 100% online and works on your phone or laptop. Plus its self-paced, so you can watch an hour today and finish later. All for just $79!
You do not even have to pay upfront. We offer Buy Now, Pay Later with Affirm.
STEP 2
If tests make you nervous, do not worry. 97% of our students pass on the first try, and we guarantee you will pass.
The exam is taken in person and we give you access to a calendar with test dates and locations. The State of California charges $40, paid directly to them on test day.
STEP 3
This part is simple. You fill out one form (we guide you through this process too) and then give it to the test proctors on the day of the exam. We will walk you through it step by step.
STEP 4
California requires a $15,000 notary bond, but you do not pay $15,000! Ours is just $38 through our partner SwiftBonds. We also provide E&O insurance at the lowest possible rates.
STEP 5
After a few weeks, the State mails you your commission paperwork. Take it to your local County Clerk’s office, file it, and you are officially a California Notary!
STEP 6
This is where the real income potential is. Being a Loan Signing Agent allows you to notarize home loans and mortgage documents.
We are the only company that includes Loan Signing Certification for Free with your Notary Class. It’s a short 3-hour online course with no test.
Many Notaries use this certification to earn significantly more per appointment and build a flexible, high-paying side business.
